The crash, which happened near the Loganville Exit, left one person dead. That person has been identified Juan Ramos, 46, of Woodbridge, Va.

"At approx. 1:17 p.m.Monday, at I-83, MM 10, there was a near white-out due to sudden snowfall. Due to rapid snowfall with poor visibility and icy roads, vehicles suddenly slowed and began crashing into each other. Approx. 50 vehicles were involved in the crash. Ramos was driving a tractor trailer for Taylor Farms, headed south on I-83, when he struck the rear of the truck in front of him,which led to his vehicle also being struck from the vehicles behind him. Ramos died at the scene as a result of the crash. Ramos was wearing his seatbelt," reads a statement from the York County coroner's office.
